Copying of extra documents
If you want other users documents you need to specify this under Setting - Other documents. This will create a wishlist that's sent to the central SO_arc\wishlist the next time you click Start to synchronize with the central database. A copylist is created based on the wishlist when SORTS is run on the server

The wishlist contains the following documents
GG\2000.2\Super001.zip
GG\2000.2\Sterp001.som

Exclude list
The document extensions you add here will all be copied from central to travel and vice versa. But, if you use a modem to connect to the central database you may experience that matching each documents take a lot of time. To reduce this time, you may choose to exclude matching for certain document types. New documents will still be copied, but the matching to determine what document was last edited is excluded.
